ADDICTION & SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS

A Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is a cluster of cognitive, behavioral, and psychological symptoms due to continually using a substance despite significant substance-related problems. These problems may include accidents, legal issues, health problems, risky behaviors, family issues, and poor performance at work or in school.

In the past, what we know to be a SUD has been referred to as an “addiction”. Comprehensive Healthcare can help individuals seeking treatment for addiction, but we also know the term can be stigmatizing to individuals with a SUD, and there are psychosocial factors that contribute to the use of substances. What many have historically referred to as an “addiction” is now identified as a Substance Use Disorder.

Over time, ongoing use of substances may change the structures and functions of certain areas in the brain, which, in turn, affects the person’s self-control and decision-making abilities. For those who continue using, these brain changes may lead to a use disorder in which drug-seeking behaviors replace normal, healthy behaviors.

Comprehensive Healthcare provides a range of substance use disorder treatment services in Yakima, Sunnyside, Ellensburg, Tri-Cities, Goldendale, and White Salmon to support individuals and families get on the road to recovery from their substance use disorders.
